It’s exactly six months to the day that I arrived back in England, and every day for those last six months I’ve wanted to leave again. I’ve wanted to grab my overnight bag and passport (which sit at the end of my bed by the way, already packed with toiletries and spare underwear) and leave. … More The Six Month Itch
Living out of a backpack can be hard: what do you pack? How do you decide what’s important, essential and what may save your life? How much can you carry? What do you leave behind? Do you really need all those pairs of socks? What you pack and what you don’t pack ultimately depend on how long … More Ten Things Living Out Of A Backpack Taught Me
Larches and Savick ABC have churned out some heavyweight names in boxing over the last few years with Scott Fitzgerald (Commonwealth Gold Medal winner and now Pro-Boxer under Matchroom and Eddie Hearn), Mick Hall and Adam Simpson all rising to success through the club. This is before you mention amateurs Jack Phoenix and Stan Houghton … More How Larches Boxing Club is gaining a cult following for its no-nonsense gym
When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions there’s already been an abundance of blogs, articles and features published about the do’s and don’t’s of these lists; the how’s and why’s, and the pros and cons of conventional resolutions versus more alternative ones. There’s information telling us what we should and shouldn’t do, and how we … More Getting fit and losing weight: New Year’s Resolution Numero Uno.
At the beginning of last week I took off on another Daytrippin’ adventure which saw a friend and I head down to Nottingham and then over to Lincoln for some sight-seeing (pub-visiting) and some cultural (wine-drinking) exploits. Before we left I’d told a few colleagues and acquaintances about our impending trip only to be greeted … More Ten things to do in Lincoln (if you’re skint or on a wine-only budget)
On my return from Australia in July 2015, a decision that in hindsight I wish I’d thought more about, my burning, itchy feet had barely touched the ground before I knew I had to up and leave again. With financial woes preventing me from embarking on another trip of a lifetime so soon after returning … More Daytrippin’: Travelling soothes the soul; forever shall I wander, free and in love with the world.
This time last year I was basking in the blistering heat, developing a nice tan, somewhere off the coast of Queensland, Australia (probably Fraser Island come to think of it); taking in the magnificent coastline views and not worrying about having to buy a new winter coat. What a difference 365 days makes! I’ve been … More Winter is coming…
If we met in the night like passing ships, then sailed by again to catch another glimpse; If we shipwrecked ourselves upon the shore, stranded together like never before; If our short precious time was filled with fun; lessons and experiences, my trust you won; If I could stay but chose to leave, to follow … More Like Ships In The Night
What will happen when day meets night, And night meets day on the other side? The vast mountains and rolling hills, The rumbling jungles, silence instills, The never ending ocean and dipping tides, The connection felt between you and I. Along the horizon a new tale unfolds, Crashes of light and colours so bold. Sounds … More Dreaming of the World and You.
As I appear to have been neglecting my blog recently in begrudging and reluctant favour of participating in full time work; a job I care little for and wish I could walk away from but cannot as the financial catch 22 situation prevents me from doing so, I’ve been channeling my creativity and writing into … More Close Your Eyes
